Property Lines

One side water, one side fire
Borders of flame mark the margins,
Consciousness but the hearth
The sky above in majesty of blue,
Softens all flight from earth
Deep and languid pools,
Emotional banks to brim
Fierce fortitude and drive
Light the coals that burn within
My heart to him with all I am
My soul to me, that time will stand
For nothing, nothing
Does define the lines between
Property is but a fantasy
For I am owned and only
By God

I never cease to be amazed that seemingly ordinary people can do such extrodinary things, such as the writing of this poem. Yes, or course, property is an illusion. The original owners of the house I now "own" are long dead. I am old and will be gone soon, so someone else will live here. I am just God's steward keeping the property up. If fact, now I am just taking a break from working on the house. In school we are taught that only the great people can do great things. I think God's greatness lives in all of us. I salute you for this wonderful poem!

Dear Kathleen, I enjoyed your deep and wonderful write greatly.

No, we can't own each other, ever... for we are one and one with God. That's my belief.

Love,
Margherita
